Project Church

Pastor Caleb Cole continues the Way of Decrease series with a message titled “Comparison: The Way of Cain or Abel!” Teaching from Genesis 4, this sermon explores how comparison, jealousy, and envy begin in the heart and can ultimately separate us from God’s presence. By contrasting the way of Cain with the way of Abel, Pastor Caleb challenges us to choose surrender, obedience, and sacrifice so we can experience deeper joy and greater connection with God.
